Now Hiring: Licensed Massage Therapists – Join Our Team at Workhouse Wellness

Location: Westlake / Austin, TX
Role type: 1099 independent contractor
Compensation: Per-session revenue split (no fixed salary or hourly wage)

Workhouse Wellness is growing, and we’re looking for experienced Licensed Massage Therapists who want more than spa shifts and one-off Groupon clients. Our studio in Westlake focuses on evidence-based massage therapy and performance recovery, working alongside our physical therapists, manual therapy, movement, and wellness coaching to help clients move, feel, and live better.

If you care about serious therapeutic work, long-term client relationships, and being part of a focused wellness team, we should talk.

Important: This is a revenue-split, per-session role as a 1099 contractor. There is no guaranteed annual salary; earnings scale with your client volume, schedule, and performance.

Where Massage Fits at Workhouse Wellness

Massage therapy is one of the core pillars of our studio, not an add-on:

  • Massage Therapy and Performance Recovery – therapeutic work for pain, stress, and athletic recovery.

  • Women’s Massage Therapy – focused support for women’s health, including prenatal and postpartum massage.

  • Integrated Rehab and Recovery – direct collaboration with our physical therapists, manual therapists, and movement specialists when clients need broader support.

  • Corporate and Concierge Wellness – occasional on-site corporate wellness events and in-home or concierge services for select clients.

You’ll work with clients who are investing in their health and expect a higher standard of care than a typical spa environment.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re likely a strong fit if you:

  • Are licensed in Texas as an LMT and in good standing.

  • Bring real-world experience in therapeutic massage; 2+ years of hands-on clinical or studio experience is strongly preferred. This is not a new-grad training role.

  • Have solid skills in therapeutic modalities such as PNF, ART, Neurofascial release deep tissue, sports massage, and trigger point; myofascial or neuromuscular experience is a plus.

  • Are comfortable working with clients dealing with pain, stress, athletic training loads, or recovery from injury (within your scope).

  • Are professional and reliable – you show up prepared, on time, and ready to do excellent work every session.

  • Communicate clearly about goals, pressure, and treatment plans so clients understand what you’re doing and why.

  • Want to build a recurring client base, not just run through a list of one-off appointments.

This is not a good fit if you’re looking for a guaranteed salary, a casual side gig, or a low-expectation spa setting.

What the Role Involves

  • Providing high-quality, one-on-one therapeutic massage sessions based on each client’s goals.

  • Tracking progress so clients see and feel improvement over time.

  • Collaborating with our physical therapists and rehab team on shared clients when appropriate, while staying within your scope of practice.

  • Maintaining a clean, organized, and professional treatment environment.

  • Offering basic education on recovery and self-care within your scope (for example, stretching suggestions or session frequency).

How Compensation Works

We are direct about the model:

  • 1099 independent contractor – you are not a W-2 employee.

  • Per-session revenue split – you are paid a percentage of each completed session, plus tips.

  • Earnings grow with your client base – as repeat clients and referrals build, so does your income.

  • Schedules are designed for sustainability, not back-to-back burnout.

If you take your craft seriously and like being rewarded for the quality and consistency of your work, this structure makes sense.

What You’ll Get from Workhouse Wellness

  • A wellness-focused studio, not a high-turnover spa.

  • Motivated clients who are actively working on pain relief, performance, or long-term health.

  • Regular opportunities to work alongside experienced physical therapists, manual therapists, movement specialists, and wellness coaches on more complex cases.

  • A studio that is investing in massage and recovery services, corporate wellness, and concierge memberships, all of which can expand therapist opportunities over time.
